Hiatus. (again.)

Don’t interact if you’re an antishipper, TERF, MAP or supporter thereof, porn bot, or someone who hates people for their race, religion, gender or sexuality, whether minority or privileged. Or if you’re someone who tries to peg famous people as “problematic” over false accusations after their deaths. I'm Rie and I don’t like Tumblr anymore. I visit on occasion but that’s it. Cis biromantic gray-ace female, she/her. ISTJ. Just be nice to me, and I’ll be nice to you. If you don’t wanna see discourse posts blacklist #rie’s discourse tag

Moving… mostly

So… I’m a vtuber now. This blog will likely be kept around for very personal ramblings, but I wanna try to cut down on discourse. I will not be maintaining any of my (failed) fandom focused side blogs.

new blogs - @riesonomurawrites for my writing, @riesonomuravt for everything else

again, this will likely be used as a personal/vent blog. Feel free to follow my new blogs!

[riesonomuravt]

Heyyyyyy it's yo gurl Rie Sonomura! I'm a Neo Y2K themed VTuber who streams a variety of games! I even write - @riesonomurawrites . In fact I do other forms of content creation too - video editing, some graphics, and I'm looking into art and music. Expect Vtuber related posts here of course, with the occasional fandom post and/or reblog! I will keep discourse/controversial topics to a minimum here. That said, please do not drag me into any discourse, and tag posts accordingly so I can filter them out.

This blog is also considered PG-13. There may be some mildly suggestive content here but nothing explicit.

May be back soon… a lot of stuff has changed. For the better. Look forward to it. 👀

[mecha-fiora]

fast update

still not fully back yet but yeah:

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/967083489 for the stream side of things at least though it does mention other content creation stuff in passing, including here.

but also, i know i've not even been talking to my friends as much as i should have, several i havent spoken to in months or longer. i do feel bad about it, truly, and when im feeling a bit better, ill try to talk to ALL my friends more often. it's just... a lot i have to process.

at the very least, i do occasionally write fanfiction as some of you may know. you can find me by RieSonomura on ffn (for ffn, with a space in between), ao3 and wattpad. im also working on some gmvs, here's my channel you can check for when i post them: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVe8NOBU-7nbBjMuOUN_CRg

hope you all are doing fine and staying safe. i miss you all.

[mecha-fiora]

I am considering using tumblr a bit more now that well

The most undesirable types have jumped ship to twitter, for the most part

Idk yet

[mecha-fiora]

I wish some of my closest online friends could have met my dad...

At least, once this pandemic is over, I wish I could meet some of you.

If most of you are still alive... I haven’t been as active contacting others out of fear for the worst. I promise I’ll check in one day.

And if I couldn’t get to you, I’m sorry.

[mecha-fiora]

I’m alive. Don’t worry about that.

But... my father passed away earlier this morning. This was a long time coming since he became bedridden in 2017, tbh. At the very least I was able to do most of what I wanted to do with him and tell him everything I wanted to before he went.

God bless you dad. I love you. One day we’ll meet again, and I promise I will have lived my best life, like you wanted.

[carnival-phantasm]

It’s been several years since I last watched any Super Best Friends Play/Two Best Friends Play content and it’s only natural and predictable that one day they’d stop making videos or would focus on other projects. An announcement like this wouldn’t normally bother me but…hearing Woolie say “Matt and Pat are no longer friends” just hit me hard…

“Gaming YouTube” has always been notoriously bad, and a mess of toxic people and groups with really forced interactions for personal gain, yet this particular group/channel has always felt nice and wholesome, and its strongest point was how naturally these guys interacted, played or even talked shit about each other – like true close friends who love each other (which was probably the reason it was the only Let’s Play channel I ever cared about). Knowing two of them don’t even really like each other anymore just felt terrible. I’m glad they were honest and open but it’s still a sad ending. Even if they never work together again, I hope Matt and Pat can one day they rekindle their friendship.

Thanks for everything guys, and good luck on your new projects

[mecha-fiora]

So yeah, this whole NSFW content ban is probably gonna kill Tumblr in the long run

I’m not gonna lie, this is kind of bittersweet. I had a lot of bad experiences here, but also some good ones, and made quite a lot of friends (some fake, sadly…but some are real and are still with me. for that, I’m thankful) I only wish this site’s staff could have seen the myriad problems plaguing the platform, from the faulty coding to the harassment to the… illegal images, before it was too late. And I hope my blog doesn’t get somehow purged… After a while I’ll be backing up most of my blogs to my HDD, and textsfromsmashbros is being imported to wordpress right now. Later on, i’ll make a post as to where to find me in case i DO somehow get deleted (which, it seems Tumblr’s purge bot for the most part ignores login-only blogs like mine. Blessing in disguise?)

[mecha-fiora]

Alright here’s other places you can find me:

DeviantArt: RieSonomura

Twitch: RieSonomura

Fanfiction.net: Rie Sonomura

Twitter: @RieSonomura

Discord: (DM me if we’re mutuals for it)

Swarmr: RieSonomura

i can be found under most places with this username anyway, i don’t think i’m infamous enough to have any impostors yet lmao

if i have any other places i have a different username at, i’ll mention them either on DA or twitter

[mecha-fiora]

welp, i’ve backed up this blog and three sideblogs via tumblthree. idk if i will back up some other blogs i don’t wanna see gone, or my first blog, which makes me cringe looking back on it.

yeah, i’ll leave my old blog to be purged if it does, which i doubt it will cause it’s in log in only view. or maybe just back up the pictures and audio for that one.

either way, see you all on the flip side. if we’re all still standing after the 17th, then good. if not, you know where else to find me. I’ll reblog it again jic

[antivancoffeelover]

the responsibility of adults in fandom is to not hurt children. that i agree with. but what that means is that we don’t attack children and we don’t act like pedophiles. that’s all it means.

if you’re a teenager and you read my fics that are dark or violent or sexually explicit even after i tag them for dark and violent and explicit content, that does not mean i have made fandom unsafe for you. it means you did not heed the warnings. you ignoring warnings, ratings, and tags means only one of us is at fault for that and buddy, it ain’t me.

i’m not your dad or your baby sitter. i’m here to provide content to other adults. when i write that’s who i have in mind. i have almost no control over teenagers who wander onto my blog or ao3. but the teenager who ends up there does have control. i don’t owe an explanation or an apology for my fandom content and y'all can take the puritanical “protect the children from fictional violence” bs elsewhere.

i didn’t mean to go on a rant lol i’m just real sick of the bullshit rn

[paintmeahero]

It’s not up to creators to police teens who come to the site and ignore warnings. That job is up to parents.

[mecha-fiora]

with tumblthree, is it possible to back up likes within a certain time period only like posts on a blog?

and do you HAVE to make your likes visible for it...?

For everyone’s information:

The plan for the 17th, when the adult content ban comes in, is to protest.

To do that, we are making as much noise either side of the 17th as possible, and using the site as normal.

On the 17th, dead silence.

People are saying log off but what they really mean is don’t open the site or the app.

But, on the 17th make as much noise as possible on every other platform. Tweet about it and post on facebook and instagram and everywhere else.

What this does is causes a massive dip in ad revenue for one single day. That does not make staff think ‘oh everyone’s gone let’s shut down.’ What it actually makes them think is ‘oh shit people aren’t happy and if people don’t keep using our site we’re out of money and out of jobs.’

A boycott reminds a company that the users (consumers) have the power to make their site (business) worthless with one single coordinated decision.

If you want to join in, here’s what to do:

Do:

Close all open instances of the app and site on all your devices before the 17th

Make posts before and after the 17th on tumblr and other platforms, talking about why this ban is bad

Make posts on other sites during the 17th. Flood the official tumblr staff twitter and facebook with your anger and your opinion

Come back on the 18th and check in

Don’t:

Delete the app from your phone (this doesn’t affect their revenue and since it’s off the store at the moment it’ll be hard to get back)

Delete your account. I mean you can if you want to, but if you keep your account and don’t use it you’re saying to staff that there’s still time to save it. If you delete it’s hard work to come back.

Open the app or website (including specific blogs)

Make any posts (turn down/off your queue and make sure nothing is scheduled)

Go quiet elsewhere. Make it clear that this is just about tumblr, not a mass move away from all social media.

Remember: the execs don’t care about anything but money. Shutting down the site means there’s $0 further income from it. That’s their last possible course of action. If we make it clear we’re not happy, they’ll have to do something or we can do more and more until it becomes too expensive.

Protests take commitment. They’re a defiant action against a business that is doing something wrong. They will try to scare you into not participating, because they’re scared. We hold all the power here, sometimes the execs just need to be reminded of that.

Parent: Well if you’re upset about something, then just say you want to vent and you can talk without worrying about us getting mad

[milkygastrobones]

Me: *honest complaint* Parent: *FLIES OFF THE HANDLE*

[celtic-pyro-deactivated20230725]

Me: Mom and Dad, I did a Big Mistake.

Parents: *lots of yelling*

[mecha-fiora]
